I think this section should be separate from the "Summary: What's New in 5.5". As such, this title should be brought at the same level. (I.e. Use ## instead of ###.)

my recommendation would be to keep formatting consistent with past release 5.x release notes at-least. I believe the current PR is consistent. If we decide to make a change, we should change it in other 5.x rel notes as well.
